    Why is that Jerry? Why do you suppose it works on the older but not the newer?

    Well for one, the older OMC engines (for example) are smaller, and much easier to put together. When using the 3M847, you have to get the halves put together immediately after applying the product. On the larger V4 and V6 engines, the anaerobic sealer has an almost unlimited work time… no need to worry about it becoming tacky.
